Although I’m pushing for the friend’s C90 for the shits and giggles, if I needed a commuter scooter I’d definitely consider electric as well.
Also, the horrid rattle on the GN125 was the oem auto cam chain tensioner. Left the bike standing for a couple weeks now, started up fine and it was clear the rattle wasn’t going away. Released the auto adjustment nut, unscrewed the bolt, heard the tensioner ping tight against the guide, and did it all back up again. Must have been a little too tight or vibrated out of position. Started up and the noise appears to be gone now.

If you're not set on Vespa styling the Honda SH125/300 is decent for a London scooter. They are a bit slimmer if garage space is at a premium. Yamaha and Vespa probably get stolen more often.
Would have thought electric would be an option if you have a garage. I ended up dumping the scooter format for a Brompton Electric and I'm happy with that choice but I've got a large capacity m/bike for those times when I need one.
